        I grew up in a liberal bubble. I was not taught contempt for the poor or uneducated. I was taught contempt for racism.

        I was taught to want to help all people--& to judge no one based on their circumstances. I was also taught that racism was evil.

        I was taught to always try to experience the lives of others. That my empathy would be imperfect-But that it was necessary to try.

        As a progressive, I believe in investing in all people & communities. And guess what? I can simultaneously call a racist "deplorable."

        People need to stop conflating judgment based in observable behaviors w/ judgment based in discrimination or bigotry.

        You realize that "white working class" is identity politics, right?

        In defense of Hillary, which I never do, she was referring to Trump's fuckinnazi supporters, not middle America. Lying WSJ strikes again.

        It's more contempt for those who seek to turn America into a retrograde plutocracy ... and those who unwittingly abet them.
